Will SE Develop Any Augmented Reality Apps for FFXIV?

I'm not a Pokemon fan, so I'm avoiding this whole Pokemon Go craze but I do find the Augmented Reality portion of this fascinating. More importantly it seems to have people moving, and being active and instead of sedentary.

Can SE develop anything similar to pair with FFXIV? If so, what? How?

I'm imagining something similar to PokemonGo where, by being active and exploring the real world, you can find certain usable items (anything ranging from powerful potions to treasure chests with gil or dragonskin maps) that will transfer to a designated character in game.

Thoughts?

Why just items? Why can't I just fight a primal along a intersection

Similar to AR on 3ds where it uses camera to bring your surroundings into game?

2 ideas for some ff14 augmented reality.

My favorite idea; the ability to take your retainer with you and play AR mini games as them to go on real life ventures.

Or Real life gathering points for miner botanist and fisher (I would totally level up fisher just for this)

lol SE cannot even get more creative than tomes and doing whatever WoW did, I highly doubt they could figure out how to make anything remotely close to Pgo. Plus they already use "limited staff" as an excuse to give us less and less interesting content, an app like that would just make matters worse.

That being said, Pokémon Go has been a hoot and no stinkin tomes to farm. It's 2pm and I wanna take a nap, been out hunting all morning.

Despite how fun Pokemon Go seems to be for people, there seems to be a rather threatening circumstance where people have risked being hurt on more than one occasion. People are already addicted enough to their phones to the point of doing nothing but stare at them as is. Further encouraging this to the point where any front of danger would kill them without much trouble is troubling enough.

I hope not, I'd hate to have to do anything like pokemon GO to get stuff for XIV.

Hmmm as a small bonus would be nice to do that hehe.

Pls dont use wow card on se when it comes to CREATIVE;)) FFXIV is a online game compared to other series that are not online:)))

I'd appreciate it if we didn't get a Pokemon Go of our own...

Are FFXIV players even aware of the world that exists outside their door? I can't think of a group that needs a game like this more than the hardcore FFXIV player.

I would like Triple Triad on the go. Sometimes I'm just walking somewhere or I'm on a bus to go see my dad who lives 4 hours away so I would at least like to pass the time with some TT

Let me catch more minions.

hmmm oh i have an idea : u have to run 5 km and avoid aoes from spawning monsters! hehe

Before an AR game, I'd like to see an app to check in with my retainers for ventures and selling things.

Yes. A mobile app for managing retainers would be awesome.

No to the Pokemon version for FFXIV.

Not interested in AR/VR for this game and in general at least for the next few years. I prefer them to spend resources into making this game better. Like better content with more creativity, more customization options, homes for everyone, better voice acting etc etc etc.

Personally I think they might not be able to do anything of the sort specifically for XIV aside from possible retainer ventures but even that might be a stretch from what their focus for this game is. If they had something like that players might not really be spending much time actually playing XIV itself as much as they're aiming for.

However, that's not to say they can't come up with something FF related in general.

They're already doing that, I think the target release is 2017. Every so often they say something about it. XIV app with LS/FC chat and retainer functions.

I'd rather they put that effort into developing interesting stats and items. Also more bosses and stuff.

Is that before or after the add-on / API support with no concrete release date?

You say that, yet Pokemon Go seems to be just as repetitive.
